On Nov. 8, New York voters will have a once-in-a-generation opportunity to protect clean water, update infrastructure, build parks, and improve quality of life in every county of the state.
That's why NYSUT supports the Vote Yes for Clean Water & Jobs coalition and their campaign to encourage voters to approve the Clean Water, Clean Air, and Green Jobs Bond Act in the general election this November.
THE BOND ACT IS ESSENTIAL TO CREATING A MORE PROSPEROUS FUTURE. COMMUNITIES WILL USE FUNDS TO:
- Safeguard clean drinking water for millions of New Yorkers
- Modernize infrastructure by updating roads, sewers, and drinking water pipes
- Create good, local jobs at family-sustaining wages
- Improve public health with clean school buses, more street trees, and lead-free drinking water
- Expand renewable energy and increase energy efficiency in public buildings
- Preserve farmland, reduce runoff, and protect lakes, rivers, and other wildlife habitats
- Increase access to parks, trails, campgrounds, nature centers, and public waterfronts
Remember to flip your ballot on Nov. 8 and vote 'YES' for clean air, clean water and green jobs!
